Reason: Romantic fixation reopens the same trap that destroyed the former self
Related Film: Double Indemnity - Core: Can the past be escaped when identity itself was formed by guilt
Reason: Flight only delays the return of the structure that already owns the protagonist
Related Film: Detour
■ Secondary Axes
- Doom as recurrence: Every attempted exit leads back into the original crime
Related Film: Criss Cross - Self-destruction through pursuit: Escape collapses because the desired object is also the fatal mechanism
